| The Harmonica Player from AuschwitzWatch a moving video that highlights the story of Auschwitz survivor Shmuel Gogol. Gogol’s harmonica was seized upon arrival at Auschwitz, but he traded his meager daily ration of bread for another one. Gogol was quickly caught by a camp guard, ordered to join the Auschwitz orchestra and forced to play while Jews were led to the gas chambers. Gogol promised that if he survived he would dedicate his life to teaching Jewish children to play the harmonica. He went on to establish the Ramat Gan Harmonica Choir. The choir has performed at Yad Vashem, paying tribute to the victims and the survivors of the Holocaust, becoming part of Yad Vashem’s ongoing efforts to keep the stories of the Shoah alive for generations to come.

Although only in his mid-twenties, Rabbi Weingort, a graduate of the Hildesheimer Rabbinical Seminary, was already considered a brilliant scholar. In the years that followed, Shaul Weingort sent letters to many of the greatest minds of the Jewish world. The topic of those letters, however, was not one of Talmudic interpretation or Jewish Law; they were meant to save lives. We Think of You as an Angel sheds light on the previously unknown story of Shaul Weingort’s efforts to create an aid network that delivered food, provided South American passports, and gave hope to his family and hundreds of other Polish Jews in an attempt to save their lives.
